Akatsuki, I do believe we understand that you think IQ is ridiculous. Some people, however, find the concept interesting. (Me) So please, quit trying to prove it wrong. I understand the point you're trying to get across.Embarassed

Spatial Intelligence can help in many areas. such as in Architecture, 3D modeling etc. i think its also helpful to chess.

kiloNewton, I do not agree with you.

Spatial intelligence can help - yes - in architecture, 3D modelling, sculpture maybe, and other subjects.

However I do not see how spatial inteliigence can be helpful to chess. Can you please enlighten me?

Abraços.

allow me. spatial intelligence deals with visualization. in chess, you must visualize te outcome of a tactical combination, or predict your opponent's next move.

calculation in a particular move in Chess = Visualization + Memory + someOtherThings

 

you may have observed that, the more deep (move forward) you try to calculate, the more it gets difficult to to see the chessPosition - most of the time you're hindered by memory, i.e. conflict occurs between different variations (say, 5 moves latter you're planning to move 5.Nd5, but after moving 3rd move, Nd5 is now 2 move forward and now you understand that Nd5 isnt even a legal move in this variation - its a move of another side variation). when your memory sucessfully captured the things, your mind visualizes the positions before you, and you choose better move by comparing them.

Well, I took " spatial intelligence" as another thing.

If this is what you mean, then I agree, although I think it is a matter of training and memory.

Feliz 2015 !

I have been tested several times from middle school until about four years ago and I have attained a consistent 139/141. If only that made me smart.Foot in Mouth

This thread is probably evidence that this group is relatively well behaved.  I'm surprised the discussion didn't descend too much, and much more quickly.  The thread almost made it out of the first page without any foolishness.  Impressive.
